- CVE-2026-10753, 24 Jun 2026
- The Site Kit by Google WordPress plugin before 1.176.0 does not properly restrict a REST API write endpoint to administrators, allowing lower-privileged users who have been granted dashboard sharing access (such as Editors) to modify a site-wide Site Kit by Google WordPress plugin before 1.176.0 setting that should only be modifiable by administrators. CVE record
- CVE-2020-8934, 7 Jul 2023
- The Site Kit by Google plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Disclosure in versions up to, and including, 1.8.0 This is due to the lack of capability checks on the admin_enqueue_scripts action which displays the connection key. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with any level of access obtaining owner access to a site in the Google Search Console. We recommend upgrading to V1.8.1 or above. CVE record
